# string.split()

The `string.split()` function returns comma-separated list of substrings of [`$string`](#usdstring) that are separated by [`$separator`](#usdseparator). The separators aren’t included in these substrings.

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```scss
// Sass.
@use 'sass:list';
@use 'sass:string';

// The `string.split()` function.
@function split($string, $separator, $limit: null, $bracketed: false) {
  $result: list.join((), (), comma, $bracketed);
  $index: 0;
  $i: 1;
  @while $index != null {
    $index: string.index($string, $separator);
    @if $index {
      $result: list.append($result, string.slice($string, 1, $index - 1));
      @if $limit and $limit == $i {
        $result: list.append($result, string.slice($string, $index + 1, -1));
        $index: null;
      } @else {
        $string: string.slice($string, $index + 1);
      }
    } @else {
      $result: list.append($result, $string);
    }

    $i: $i + 1;
  }
  @return $result;
}
```
